Vortech SC. I'm nearing 150k miles on the car now. 130k boosted. I think I have a vac leak. The car cuts power when I floor it. =P

New car Mar 2013, Vortech SC Nov 2013 @ 23,000kms.

Now on 101,000kms, only DI injectors replaced and a few minor issues.
Despite having done 51 track days, of which about 15 were competitive time attack events.

I worked out that my car has been red-lined (say 7000rpm+) more that 12,000 times on racetracks alone.

And some say the FA20 isn't reliable if boosted.
I can assure you that it's not made of glass

My opinion is that it's relative to bhp-greed.
If you want big hp, it'll bite you.
If you're content with up to 250whp, I reckon you'll have a long and enjoyable FA20

But YMMV

240 rear wheel Kw - say 400 flywheel horsepower - on a water to air intercooled turbo using e85. Engine had 60,000km before being boosted and had 4 bent rods 7,000km later with only some spirited driving and one track day I used to shakedown the turbo install.

Built engine being done now.

Did you beated that z on a braking fight?

I was a lot quicker than him in the corners. About the same with power.
He was on 255 road tyres. I was on 225 semis and I had a lot more grip.
The photo was accelerating out of the left turn onto the pit straight.
I cut inside him coming out the turn, and the photographer just happened to be there.
Must have sounded awesome too, because for the track, both the Z and my car run open exhaust, and they're both very loud.

Daily @ 16psi, beat the crap out of it quite often at 21psi.

No issues, drive it every day - rain, snow, or shine.

Are you sure those numbers are in PSI and not measured in inches of HG?

If they're inHG you're running ~8psi daily and 10.5psi peak which is far more realistic. Unless, of course, you are running a fully built engine.
